One of the things that you have to keep in mind when having a rabbit is to check on his water, because it could happen that the water dispenser falls out, and then the rabbit has no more water to drink. What could maybe happen actually happened, and I wouldn’t have noticed if it were not for Peter’s warning.
That evening I went to wish him good night, and when I reached out to pet him he stuck his two top front teeth into my hand –he had never done that before. He would only occasionally lick and softly bite my hands when petting him, but that was very different. He seemed anxious, and he rabidly kept going for my hand. The bite was quite hard, and the mark showed in my hand for a whole week.
When he did that I knew that something was wrong, but it was dark and it took me a while to see what it was. After I refilled the dispenser with fresh water, Peter went straight to it and anxiously drank for a couple of minutes. After that, he was totally cool and relaxed again. |
